Automated provisioning simplifies deployment and integration
The Oracle Database Appliance is customizable and has excellent features.I don't have any problems with Oracle Database Appliance because this product is very automated, with scheduler and automatic processes throughout. You can make small inferences and changes for creating all the specific modifications. The automated provisioning feature helps speed up the database deployment process because you can use one command or option to resize all the disks or increase memory, depending on the occasion. The Oracle Database Appliance has integration in OCI Cloud. The same services simplify all the manager work regarding backups, configuration, resizing disks, and other services. Deploying the Oracle Database Appliance both on-premises and in the cloud offers the same simplification. You simply input your database name and specify memory quantity, CPU quantity, and database size. The process is identical for both on-premises and cloud deployments. The flexibility of Oracle Database Appliance has helped grow business needs for many customers. Using the Oracle Database Appliance has positively impacted my organization because I can deliver it much more comfortably. Creating a database involves many processes, but with this solution, you just input the name and configure the network and other parameters. It is very similar to RDS in AWS services, where you specify the name, choose the engine, indicate parameter groups, VPC, subnet groups, and proceed. Both Oracle Database Appliance and RDS have greatly simplified the work.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has led to improved performance, it saves maintenance costs, increases stability and reliability and is a single vendor solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"Offers easy deployment and setup."
"The tool is a specific and effective system. I am impressed with its usability."
"It has many valuable features, including High Availability and failover, which means you can have an all-ERP solution in one box, so you can use your database with your application server together."
"From the day of installation we did not have any challenges with this product."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"It has limitations of Storage as well as network connectiivty over 10G Fiber."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
"The solution does crash. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen occasionally."
"It is unable to expand by much, because of the way the ODA configures when you have two nodes and X number of storage."
"In terms of scalability, it is not bad. It was not that easy to scale."
"Creating a VM on ODA could be improved."
"Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software."
"I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Leverage the Pay-As-You-Grow licensing, and consider using the ODA X6-2 S/M/L models also for SE2/SE."
"The price should be lower."
"Oracle’s pricing is ridiculously high."
"The product is costly."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a very expensive solution. If you have opted for the on-premises licenses from Oracle, then you have to pay yearly. If you have opted for the cloud subscriptions offered by Oracle, then you can pay either monthly or yearly."
"I would rate the pricing a four on a scale of one (high price) to ten (low cost)."
"You must pay for the license."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
